Virden) Organization: N8EMR's Ham BBS (HBBS), Columbus,Ohio Lines: 31 Bcc: lwv I don't know how the current comp.sys.apple -> bitnet mailing list is set up, but surely a similar mechanism could be set up for bitnet users if we had a comp.sources/binaries.apple group. If we can get one of you fine, outstanding, honest folks to call for a VOTE (cross post it to news.group) on these groups, giving I believe a 3-4 week deadline on the vote taking, and INSISTING THAT NO YES VOTES BE POSTED, then allow your self to be the receiver of the votes, we can get started. If you get a typical usenet feed, you get news.announcement.newuser; this group receives a series of "how to use usenet" articles each month. This month a "how to create a newsgroup" article arrived! Please see if you can get a hold of this article before beginning the effort. After we get the votes in and counted, post the results to comp.sys.apple and news.groups. Then request that the news.godds (Greg Woods, Gene Spafford, or someone else) create said groups. Note: as I said above, there should be some way that we can arrange to get the source and binaries gatewayed to bitnet; if nothing else, my offer to send you a copy of the uucp software mail server is still standing; to date, not ONE uucp site has contacted me to request this software to set up an apple II server for uucp sites!!! Note that this is NOT software of mine; I retrieved it from Brian Reid and the info as to how to get fresh copies, etc . should be within this set of files. -- Larry W.
